The trinomial x2 – 3x – 4 is represented by the model. what are the factors of the trinomial?

(x - 4)(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 3x - 4

To factor the trinomial

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 4) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 3)

The factors are - 4 and + 1, since

- 4 × 1 = - 4 and - 4 + 1 = - 3, hence

x² - 3x - 4 = (x - 4)(x + 1)

answer

the correct answer is

explanation

the given function is

the excluded values are obtained by solving:

we factor to obtain:

the excluded values are

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

x - 3

discussion:

x^2 - 9 = (x-3) (x+3)   so

(x^2-9)/ (x + 3) = x-3
